That version is quite old.  Mike has been overwhelmed by 'real life' and has not built Wine for MacOSX lately.

I have a working version here and would like to take another look at the CodeWeavers changes to see if I can get them to work with the current development version so that I can play some of my favorite games.

And hopefully they will not be needed in the near future.  XQuartz 2.3.3 will have fixes for the brokenness of OpenGL.

Again, I'll check.

Be aware that any problems you find may be ignored by CodeWeavers as well.
